Jefferson County Commissioners Court appointed Port Arthur lawyer Langston Adams on Monday to serve the remainder of the late Judge John Paul Davis' term on the bench in county Court at-law No. 3.

He is the third judge in the court's history, dating to late 1989, and is the third African-American judge on the court. The first two were Donald Floyd, now 172nd District judge, and Davis.

Adams, 39, will serve to the end of the year. Voters will elect a new judge in the November general election.
